Logging on after network change

[Scott_McDonald]

My father uses his laptop on a business network where he
logs on with his user name and password under a domain.
He went away on holidays and changed the network settings
so he could play games with a friend. He said he has
changed it from "connecting to the net via a business
network" to "a local LAN" or something like that. It was
working fine but then he shut down the computer. On the
next reboot he was asked for his user name and password.
When he entered it, he was told it was wrong user name,
password or domain. The guest account has been disabled.
Is there anyway I can get past this problem? How can I
log on? Or do we just have to reformat?

The generally accepted procedure at this point is to return the laptop to
the administrators of the "business network" to which the laptop belongs,
and to not play with things one does not understand, next time.
